This image features a remarkable fragment of the upper part of a building facade in Dutch style. The architecture is distinguished by characteristic red-brown brickwork, creating a contrast with white decorative elements. The central feature is an elegant decorative pediment with an embedded clock in classical style.
Special attention is drawn to the panel below the clock, made of light-colored tiles with green letters, which reads "UIT LIEFDE EN VOORZORG" - translated from Dutch as "With love and care." This indicates the social or charitable purpose of the building, possibly a nursing home or medical institution.
The clock itself is framed by a decorative border with a floral ornament on a golden background, adding refinement to the building. On both sides of the central element are symmetrical windows with dark frames, creating a harmonious composition. The roof is covered with slate tiles, and the building is crowned with an original decorative metal element (finial) with an openwork pattern.
The architectural style of the building is characteristic of the Dutch school of the late 19th - early 20th century, with elements of Art Nouveau visible in the decorative design of the clock and roof ornament. The finishing of the cornice and pediment demonstrates the high quality of craftsmanship typical of that era.
